Augusta Awards and Old Boy of the Year

In 2007 the Augusta Award was introduced to replace the Old Boy of the Year Award. The new award allows the School to honour up to four Old Boys annually. Those Old Boys so honoured are outstanding achievers who have made a significant contribution to, or demonstrated leadership, in their profession, their community, New Zealand or the world.

The categories are Academia, Arts, Business, Service and Sport.

The names of these most distinguished Old Boys are inscribed on an Honours Board in the Heritage Room of the Library.

Their achievements serve as an enduring inspiration to all who attend Auckland Grammar School.
